Seneca Museum

We drove all the way to the Seneca Museum yesterday. The drive was beautiful, Charlotte was taking pictures since I was driving. We could not take pictures inside the museum, though. They had arranged a homeschool day and we saw homeschoolers from NY and PA. Some of the people present we had met in our nature study group several years ago. And one of the Seneca Indians, a tour guide, kept saying that she had seen me before, but I could not place her. Then she suddenly asked if we used to go to the Waldorf school: That was the connection! She had taught kindergarten there when Jonathan and Charlotte were doing playgroup. I did not know she was a member of the Seneca tribe. We had different stations to visit in the museum, one was a Seneca baseball station :). And we learned all about lacrosse and now snakes.

So here you go with a few pictures from the ride there. To find out more about the museum, take a look at the video. We actually bought a very interesting collection of Seneca stories, called Allegany Seneca Storybook. Those stories are very funny and different from anything else we have ever read.

I also thought the snow snakes were kind of funny. One of the guide told us that those sticks used to have secret messages carved into and helped to transmit a message from one village to the other in the winter fast. They still play this game in this area. I had not known that.

No, we were at Tops. Wegmans has a prettier seating area and real food. Tops only sells some soups and sometimes salads that you can eat there. Wegmans has different types of hot food. The area, where the Seneca Museum is, is not very populated Wegmans tends to be in places where more people live and where richer people live. Tops is sort of more middle class, but does have a very good selection also. There is no Wegmans close by. .
